Dark Skies Over The Harrowmark - part 15, the Wyldwoods








Three more Awakened Wyldwood Trees finished!

They were mostly painted with Contrast but a rough recipe is:
  • Halfords Matt Grey spray primer all over.
  • Brush-on Wraithbone Base onto all the leaves, mushrooms, skulls and bones.
  • Painted all the leafy areas with a cocktail of Nazdreg Yellow, Snakebite Leather, Matt Medium and a little water.
  • Painted all the bark (trunks, branches and fallen bits) with Goregrunter Brown Contrast.
  • Painted all the skulls and bones with Skeletal Horde Contrast.
  • Painted the metal brackets on the wooden joist with Leadbelcher Base.
  • Washed the rocks and wooden joist with Nuln Oil Shade.
  • Painted all the earthy areas with Steel Legion Drab Base.
  • Dry-brushed everything with Ushabti Bone, especially the skulls, bones, rocks and earth texture.
Then it was just supergluing the grass flock and leaf litter in random-ish patches and a quick spray of Munitorum Varnish all over, with a second coat (once the first was completely dry) on the parts that will get handled most during play.

They are for the Harrowmark in Shyish, really but they will see "action" on the tabletop first as part of the Prowling Forest in Ghur, in the Warcry campaign that we recently started.

  1. Dude. The extra bases really help those look better. I never imagined they could look so non-flimsy

    1. Thanks mate!
      The bases definitely stop them looking top-heavy and unstable.
